Tell us why you want to know. What is the problem you are trying to solve,
or are you just curious? Is it not working? Is it a leakage point from the
company, etc.

Look in /etc/modprobe.conf and see if there are entries for all three and
what kind of cards they are. Look in
dmesg|less
and look for the three and what they are associated with.

I am trying to learn what is the current network setup; the technical
guy who set up the LAN has resigned.

Nobody knows this monster anymore. :-)

OK. You can look on the back and see how many rj45 cables come out. And if
there are some antennae for wireless cards. Then look at ifconfig
and see how many networks are listed. And you can do
lspci to see what is reported for the ethernet cards.

Probably 2 Gb nics and 1 100 Mb management nic.

try 'lshw' or 'dmidecode'

it means the kernel believes there are three network interfaces
presently available, and that what it used to think was eth2 isn't
around at present. that could be three separate NIC cards/chips, or
it could be some combination of multi-port cards/multiport chips. the
lspci and dmidecode suggestions are spot-on.
